JOURNAL OF FISH DISEASES 2023; 46:967-976. [PMID: 37329523 DOI: 10.1111/jfd.13817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Dactylogyrus is one of the most common parasitic diseases in fish and causes huge losses to the aquaculture industry. With the advantages of safety, low toxicity and easy degradation, plant-derived drugs are ideal for the creation of green aquatic ingredients. The use of plant-derived drugs in aquaculture is limited by their low content and high processing costs, which is a challenge that can be solved by the chemical synthesis of plant-derived drugs. Eleven new coumarin derivatives were synthesized and assessed for their anthelmintic activity in this study. Among them, the derivative 7-((1-tosyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy)-2H-chromen-2-one (N11) has good anthelmintic activity and its mean anthelmintic efficacy against D. intermedius at a concentration of 10 μM reached 99.84%, which is even better than the anthelmintic activity of the positive control mebendazole. Further studies showed that N11 had concentration values of 3.31 and 1.94 μM for 50% maximal effect (EC50 ) against D. intermedius at 24 and 48 h, respectively. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy revealed that N11 caused damage to D. intermedius. What is more noteworthy is that a substantial reduction in the ATP content of the parasite was observed following in vitro and in vivo administration of N11. Moreover, it was also found that N11 was able to inhibit the horizontal transmission of D. intermedius. Furthermore, real-time quantitative PCR analysis was utilized to determine the expression profile of genes associated with anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, TGF-β and IL-4) in goldfish. In all examined organs, it was observed that the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines increased subsequent to treatment with N11, according to the results. Thus, these results all suggest that N11 possesses good anthelmintic activity and is a potentially effective agent for the control of D. intermedius.

Abstract
Abstract
The use of most antibiotics has been restricted and banned in finfish and shrimp farms due to several reasons comprising their long-lasting persistence in aquatic environments, relatively high prices, and their ability to promote the existence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Hence, finding economical, natural, and environmentally safe alternatives is of great importance. The use of polyphenols, polyphenol-rich plants, and plant-derived phenolic compounds for promoting aquatic animal health and welfare could be from the effective strategies for developing aquafeed and maintaining the sustainability of the aquaculture industry. Several plants are gorgeous in various bioactive functional ingredients known as phytochemicals and polyphenols. Phenolic compounds could be successfully used as natural immunostimulants in order to raise the immunity of finfish and shrimp species against several bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections and thus may replace the use of antimicrobial agents. Besides their potential roles for improvement of the growth performance, intestinal health, and enhancing the antioxidant capacity of the treated animals. Even though the trend of using plant-derived phenolic compounds is a new and leading era for the improvement of the functionality of aquafeed and the development of the aquaculture industry, there are fundamental needs and necessities to describe a clear understanding of their modes of action and potential roles in the improvement of the production rates, antioxidant activity, immune status, and disease resistance of farmed fish and shrimp.

Abstract
Membrane-enveloped viruses are responsible for most viral pandemics in history, and more effort is needed to advance broadly applicable countermeasures to mitigate the impact of future outbreaks. In this Perspective, we discuss how biosensing techniques associated with lipid model membrane platforms are contributing to improving our mechanistic knowledge of membrane fusion and destabilization that is closely linked to viral entry as well as vaccine and antiviral drug development. A key benefit of these platforms is the simplicity of interpreting the results which can be complemented by other techniques to decipher more complicated biological observations and evaluate the biophysical functionalities that can be correlated to biological activities. Then, we introduce exciting application examples of membrane-targeting antivirals that have been refined over time and will continue to improve based on biophysical insights. Two ways to abrogate the function of viral membranes are introduced here: (1) selective disruption of the viral membrane structure and (2) alteration of the membrane component. While both methods are suitable for broadly useful antivirals, the latter also has the potential to produce an inactivated vaccine. Collectively, we emphasize how biosensing tools based on membrane interfacial science can provide valuable information that could be translated into biomedicines and improve their selectivity and performance.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 248:114331. [PMID: 36435002 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.114331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Azoxystrobin (AZ) is one of the most widely used strobilurin fungicides in the world, and its residue has seriously endangered aquatic ecological security. Our previous data showed that AZ exposure may reduce the resistance of fish to rhabdovirus infection in aquatic environment. Here, we further reported a potential long-term adverse effect of AZ exposure on the antiviral and immunosuppressive recovery in fish, and observed that mitochondrial dynamic balance was disturbed by AZ in which excessive mitochondrial fission occurred in response to decreased ATP levels. When a recovery operation was performed in AZ-exposed cells and fish, infectivity of our model virus, spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV), was significantly decreased in vitro (using the epithelioma papulosum cyprini [EPC] fish cell line) and in vivo (using zebrafish) in a time-dependent manner. Also, the expression of eight innate antiviral immune genes (IFNs, ISG15, MX1, RIG-I, IRF3, Nrf2 and HO-1) showed a similar change to SVCV replication between the longer exposure period and the expression recovery. Additionally, AZ facilitated horizontal transmission of SVCV in a static cohabitation challenge model, predicting the increase of the potential for the viral outbreak. Therefore, our data suggest that long-term effect of AZ on irreparable impairment in fish made AZ residue potentially greater for ecological risks.

Abstract
Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) is globally widespread and poses a serious threat to aquatic ecology and aquaculture due to its broad host range. To develop effective agents to control SVCV infection, we selected 16 naturally active small molecules to assess their anti-SVCV activity. Notably, dihydroartemisinin (DHA) (100 µmol/L) and (S, S)-(+)-tetrandrine (TET) (16 µmol/L) exhibited high antiviral effects in epithelioma papulosum cyprinid (EPC) cells, with inhibitory rates of 70.11% and 73.54%, respectively. The possible antiviral mechanisms were determined as follows: 1. Pre-incubation with DHA and TET decreased viral particle infectivity in fish cells, suggesting that horizontal transmission of SVCV in the aquatic environment was disrupted; 2. Although neither had an effect on viral adhesion, TET (but not DHA) interfered with SVCV entry into host cells (>80%), suggesting that TET may have an antiviral function in early viral replication. For in vivo study, both agents enhanced the survival rate of SVCV-infected zebrafish by 53.3%, significantly decreased viral load, and modulated the expression of antiviral-related genes, indicating that DHA and TET may stimulate the host innate immune response to prevent viral infection. Overall, our findings indicated that DHA and TET had positive effects on suppressing SVCV infection by affecting early-stage viral replication, thus holding great potential as immunostimulants to reduce the risk of aquatic rhabdovirus disease outbreaks.

Abstract
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is an important pathogen causing high mortality in the shrimp industry in aquaculture, yet there is no treatment available to date. In order to find a treatment against WSSV infection, this study examined the anti-WSSV activity of eight natural compounds using shrimp larvae as a model. Among the eight compounds, paeoniflorin showed the most obvious anti-WSSV effect, with a maximum protection efficiency of WSSV-infected shrimp >60% at 100 μM. Furthermore, pretreatment and post-treatment experiments revealed that paeoniflorin could prevent and treat WSSV infection in shrimp. The antiviral activity of paeoniflorin in aquaculture water decreased rapidly with time, and the results showed that the stable anti-WSSV activity of paeoniflorin could only remain in water for 1 day. Thus, the dosing pattern of continuous medication changes was evaluated. Obviously, in the model of continuous change of paeoniflorin, WSSV copy numbers in the virus-treated shrimp group still progressively increased, while the virus content in WSSVpaeoniflorin -treated group continued to decrease. Interestingly, paeoniflorin inhibited horizontal transmission of WSSV to a certain extent. Notably, paeoniflorin significantly increased the expression of antimicrobial peptides of shrimp to resist WSSV. In conclusion, paeoniflorin has the potential to protect shrimp against WSSV.

Abstract
Due to the lack of relevant therapies for infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) infection, the viral outbreak invariably causes serious economic losses in salmonid species. In this study, we evaluated the anti-IHNV effects of 7-(6-benzimidazole) coumarin (C10) and 4-phenyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-chromeno[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-one (S5) in vitro and in vivo. The results revealed that C10 at 12.5 mg/L and S5 at 25 mg/L significantly inhibited IHNV replication in epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells with a maximum inhibitory rate >90%, showing that IHNV-induced cytopathic effect (CPE) was alleviated by C10 and S5. There are two complementary effects on antiviral mechanism: 1. C10 completely inhibited IHNV infectivity when the virus was preincubated with C10 at 12.5 mg/L, determining that C10 may have a negative impact on IHNV binding to the cell; 2. C10 also up-regulated the gene expression of extracellular proto type galectin-1 (Gal1-L2) and a chimera galectin-3 (Gal3-L1) of EPC cells to inhibit IHNV adhesion. For the in vivo study, injection and immersion of the coumarins enhanced the survival rate of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles by 25% (at least) at 12 dpi. IHNV loads in the kidney and spleen were also obviously decreased at 96 h, and thus we considered that they had a delaying effect on IHNV replication in vivo. Meanwhile, C10 with a high stability in aquacultural water in immersion suppressed IHNV horizontal transmission by decreasing the viral loads in recipient fish. Overall, our data suggest that there is a positive effect of C10 and S5 against IHNV infection in aquaculture, and C10 had the potential to be a broad-spectrum antiviral against fish rhabdoviruses.

Abstract
The Paramyxoviridae family includes enveloped single-stranded negative-sense RNA viruses such as measles, mumps, human parainfluenza, canine distemper, Hendra, and Nipah viruses, which cause a tremendous global health burden. The ability of paramyxoviral glycoproteins to merge viral and host membranes allows entry of the viral genome into host cells, as well as cell-cell fusion, an important contributor to disease progression. Recent molecular and structural advances in our understanding of the paramyxovirus membrane fusion machinery gave rise to various therapeutic approaches aiming at inhibiting viral infection, spread, and cytopathic effects. These therapeutic approaches include peptide mimics, antibodies, and small molecule inhibitors with various levels of success at inhibiting viral entry, increasing the potential of effective antiviral therapeutic development.

Abstract
There is an unmet need to develop analytical strategies that not only characterize the lipid composition of the viral envelope but also do so on a time scale that would allow for high-throughput analysis. With that in mind, we report the use of atmospheric pressure (AP) matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) combined with lithium adduct consolidation to profile total lipid extracts rapidly and confidently from enveloped viruses. The use of AP-MALDI reduced the dependency of using a dedicated MALDI mass spectrometer and allowed for interfacing the MALDI source to a mass spectrometer with the desired features, which included high mass resolving power (>100000) and tandem mass spectrometry. AP-MALDI combined with an optimized MALDI matrix system, featuring 2',4',6'-trihydroxyacetophenone spiked with lithium salt, resulted in a robust and high-throughput lipid detection platform, specifically geared to sphingolipid detection. Application of the developed workflow included the structural characterization of prominent sphingolipids and detection of over 130 lipid structures from Influenza A virions. Overall, we demonstrate a high-throughput workflow for the detection and structural characterization of total lipid extracts from enveloped viruses using AP-MALDI HRMS and lithium adduct consolidation.

Abstract
Chronic pollution in aquatic ecosystems can lead to many adverse effects, including a greater susceptibility to pathogens among resident biota. Trifloxystrobin (TFS) is a strobilurin fungicide widely used in Asia to control soybean rust. However, it has the potential to enter aquatic ecosystems, where it may impair fish resistance to viral infections. To explore the potential environmental risks of TFS, we characterized the antiviral capacities of fish chronically exposed to TFS and subsequently infected with spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV). Although TFS exhibited no significant cytotoxicity at the tested environmental concentrations during viral challenge, SVCV replication increased significantly in a time-dependent manner within epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells and zebrafish exposed to 25 μg/L TFS. Results showed that the highest viral load was more than 100-fold that of the controls. Intracellular biochemical assays indicated that autophagy was induced by TFS, and associated changes included an increase in autophagosomes, conversion of LC3-II, accumulation of Beclin-1, and degradation of P62 in EPC cells and zebrafish. In addition, TFS markedly decreased the expression and phosphorylation of mTOR, indicating that activation of TFS may be associated with the mTOR-mediated autophagy pathway. This study provides new insights into the mechanism of the immunosuppressive effects of TFS on non-target aquatic hosts and suggests that the existence of TFS in aquatic environments may contribute to outbreaks of viral diseases.

Abstract
Rapid production of prawn (Litopenaeus vannamei) under artificial pressure can result in a series of obvious challenges and is vulnerable to serious losses related to aquatic environmental issues and the unrestrained outbreak of white spot syndrome (WSS). However, to date, there are no therapeutic strategies to contain the spread of the virus. Here, we synthesized 27 coumarin derivatives and evaluated their anti-white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) activity in L. vannamei larvae. We demonstrated that electron-withdrawing and electron-giving substituent groups play an important role in reducing toxicity and WSSV replication, respectively. Two coumarin C2 (2-amino-5-oxo-4-(p-tolyl)-4H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromene-3-carbonitrile) and C7 (2-amino-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-oxo-4H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromene-3-carbonitrile) were regarded as the most promising anti-WSSV compounds with maximum antiviral response <5% and median effective concentration <10 mg/L. The mortality of WSSV-infected larvae decreased by more than 60% after exposure to C2 and C7. With continuous immersion of C2 and C7 exchange, the mortality further decreased to 40% at 120 h. Additionally, C2 and C7 are the relatively stable in aquacultural water, making these agents suitable for use in inhibiting WSSV horizontal transmission in static aquaculture systems. These results showed the marked advantages of using C2 and C7 in the shrimp industry, and suggest that they hold potential for the treatment and prevention of WSSV infection in shrimp seedling culture.

Abstract
Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) causes devastating losses in aquaculture. Coumarin has an advantageous structure for the design of novel antiviral agents with high affinity and specificity. In this study, we evaluated a hydroxycoumarin medicine, i.e., 7-(6-benzimidazole) coumarin (C10), regarding its anti-SVCV effects in vitro and in vivo. Results showed that up to 12.5 mg/L C10 significantly inhibited SVCV replication in the epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cell line, with a maximum inhibitory rate of >97%. Furthermore, C10 significantly reduced cell death and relieved cellular morphological damage in SVCV-infected cells. Decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) also suggested that C10 not only protected mitochondria, but also reduced apoptosis in SVCV-infected cells. For in vivo studies, intraperitoneal injection of C10 resulted in an anti-SVCV effect and substantially enhanced the survival rate of virus-infected zebrafish. Furthermore, C10 significantly enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities and decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) to maintain antioxidant-oxidant balance within the host, thereby contributing to inhibition of SVCV replication. The up-regulation of six interferon (IFN)-related genes also demonstrated that C10 indirectly activated IFNs for the clearance of SVCV in zebrafish. This was beneficial for the continuous maintenance of antiviral effects because of the low viral loads in fish. Thus, C10 is suggested as a therapeutic agent with great potential against SVCV infection in aquaculture.

Abstract
LJ001 have the antiviral activity against TGEV or PDCoV infection in vitro. LJ001 inhibits TGEV or PDCoV infection at the replication stages of viral life cycle. LJ001 may serve as a new candidate for treatment of swine enteric coronavirus infection.
Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) are members of the family coronaviridae and mainly cause acute diarrhea/vomiting, dehydration and mortality in piglets, which lead to huge economic losses to the swine industry. Rhodanine derivative LJ001 has been verified to be effective against some enveloped virus infections in vitro. In this study, we evaluated the antiviral activity of LJ001 towards TGEV and PDCoV replication on swine testicular(ST) cells. Our results showed the 50 % cellular cytotoxicity (CC50) value of LJ001 was 146.4 μM on ST cell. The virus titers of TGEV and PDCoV were obviously decreased in the presence of LJ001 with the concentrations of 3.125 and 12.5 μM, and LJ001 potently inhibited TGEV and PDCoV infection at the replication stages of viral life cycle. Further study indicated that LJ001 inhibited TGEV and PDCoV replication by inhibition of viral RNA and protein synthesis, and reducing virus yields at 12 and 24 h post-inoculation. These data indicated that LJ001 had antiviral activities on TGEV and PDCoV replications in vitro, which may serve as a new candidate for treatment of coronaviruses infections.

Antiviral Res 2019; 174:104672.

Abstract
Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) is one of the most serious pathogens in aquaculture, resulting in devastating damage in cyprinid. In this study, we designed and synthesized a novel coumarin derivative (C3007) for evaluating its in vitro and in vivo anti-SVCV effects. Here, we determined that up to 25 mg/L C3007 significantly decreased SVCV protein gene expression levels in EPC cells by a maximum inhibitory rate of >95%. When C3007 was preincubated with SVCV, infectivity was significantly inhibited in vitro in a time-dependent manner, with complete inhibition at 25 mg/L. For in vivo studies, C3007 exhibited an anti-SVCV effect by substantially enhancing the survival rate of virus-infected fish via intraperitoneal injection. Although the horizontal transmission of SVCV was hindered by C3007 in a static cohabitation challenge model, it was not completely blocked, showing that the viral loads in recipient fish were obviously reduced. Thus, C3007 could potentially be used as a therapeutic agent with great potential in aquatic systems and may also be suitable for applications in pond aquaculture settings against viral transmission. Additionally, the C3007-preincubated virus induced an antiviral immune response with high levels of IFN expression, suggesting that C3007 pre-treatment could be used in vaccine development.

Abstract
Transmission is a fundamental component of pathogen fitness. A better understanding of pathogen transmission can greatly improve disease management. In particular, controlled studies of multiple rounds of natural transmission (i.e. serial passage) can provide powerful epidemiological and evolutionary inferences. However, such studies are possible in only a few systems because of the challenges in successfully initiating and maintaining transmission in the laboratory. Here we developed an efficient and reproducible cohabitation method for conducting controlled experiments investigating the effects of serial passage on infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) in rainbow trout. This method was used to investigate the transmission efficiency and kinetics of viral shedding of IHNV over 3 serial passages. Transmission efficiency decreased from 100 to 62.5% over the passage steps and was associated with a decrease in virus shedding into water. A shift in the peak of viral shedding was also observed, from Day 2 post immersion for passage 0 to at least 24 h later for all subsequent passages. Finally, the characterization of viruses after 1 round of transmission and propagation on cells showed no change in glycoprotein (G gene) sequences or viral virulence compared to the ancestral virus stock. The methods developed provide valuable tools for reproducible population-level studies of IHNV epidemiology and evolution.

Abstract
Anisomycin caused profound inhibition of SVCV replication in EPC cells. Anisomycin blocked morphological cell damage caused by SVCV replication. Anisomycin suppressed SVCV replication in vivo, resulting in a prolonged survival of infected zebrafish.
Spring viraemia of carp (SVC) caused by spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) is an acute and highly lethal viral disease of cyprinid fish. However, effective therapy for SVC is still scarce until now. Here we evaluated the inhibition of anisomycin (Ani), a metabolite produced by Streptomyces griseolus, on the replication of SVCV in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrated that Ani could suppress SVCV replication with the maximum inhibitory rate > 95% in epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells. And the half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of Ani on SVCV glycoprotein (G), nucleoprotein (N) and phosphoprotein mRNA expressions were 21.79, 13.13 and 12.24 nM, respectively. Besides, Ani decreased SVCV-induced cytopathic effects and nucleus damages. As expected, Ani also showed a strong anti-SVCV activity in vivo, as indicated by inhibiting viral gene expression and increasing the survival rate of zebrafish. Intraperitoneal injection of Ani increased the survival rate of zebrafish by 30% and markedly inhibited the expressions of G and N mRNA by > 60% in kidney and spleen at day 1 and day 4 post-infection. Results so far suggest that Ani as a powerful agent against SVCV can be applied to the control of SVC in aquaculture.

Abstract
Spring viraemia of carp (SVC) in aquaculture is challenging because there are few preventative measures and/or treatments. The previous study demonstrated that an antiviral coumarin derivative, 7-(4-(4-methyl-imidazole))-coumarin (C2), inhibits spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) infection by targeting Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway in fish cells. Thus, we hypothesized whether C2 may be used as a potential therapeutic agent for controlling SVCV infection in aquaculture. In this study, SVCV infectivity was significantly inhibited in vitro in a dose-dependent manner by preincubation with C2. C2 was verified against SVCV in zebrafish, in which the mortality and viral titer in fish body were decreased. Like other coumarins, C2 was stable with a prolonged inhibitory half-life (3.5 days) at 15 °C in the early stage of SVCV infection. The results show that horizontal transmission of SVCV was reduced by C2 in a static cohabitation challenge model, especially for recipient fish in injection treatment, which suggested that C2 may be suitable as a possible therapeutic agent for SVCV in aquaculture. Overall, this study provides the new insight that a small molecule antiviral drug can be used to control rhabdovirus infection in fish aquacultures.

Abstract
The aquaculture industry is growing rapidly to meet the needs for global protein consumption. Viral diseases in aquaculture are quite challenging due to lack of treatment options as well as limited injection-delivery vaccines, which are costly. Thus, water-immersion antiviral treatments are highly desirable. This study focused on broad-spectrum, light-activated antivirals that target the viral membrane (envelope) of viruses to prevent viral-cell membrane fusion, ultimately blocking viral entry into cells. Of the tested small-molecules, JL122, a new broad-spectrum antiviral previously unexplored against aquatic viruses, blocked infection of three aquatic rhabdoviruses (IHNV, VHSV and SVCV) in cell culture and in two live fish challenge models. Importantly, JL122 inhibited transmission of IHNV from infected to uninfected rainbow trout. Further, the effective antiviral concentrations were not toxic to cells or susceptible fish. These results show promise for JL122 to become an immersion treatment option for outbreaks of aquatic enveloped viral infections.
